Shackled to the wheel of an abandoned cart, this hopeless, handsome rogue is in need of a helping hand. Is he compelling enough to be released, or are you so cruel as to leave him to his fate?

A Chance Encounter is a small-scale visual novel utilizing minimal assets to tell a unique story in under 1k words. It was developed for the 2025 O2A2 VN Jam.

This short game incorporates subtly suggestive themes such as flirting with the player. It does not contain any explicit content.

A Chance Encounter is a bite-sized visual novel utilizing minimal assets. Players will enjoy ~30 minutes of gameplay with 1,000 words, four endings, an original soundtrack, and a single illustration.

It also features one rakishly charming (yet thoroughly pathetic) rogue.
